School of Management

Undergraduate Programs

The undergraduate degree programs are designed to provide opportunities for the understanding of the institutional structure and behavioral patterns of a modern industrial society, to provide training for business careers, and to prepare teachers of business and economics. Two types of degrees are offered, the B.B.A. and the B.A.S.

Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.)

A student may obtain a BBA degree in the following fields:

Accounting*

Business Administration (general)

Finance

Management

Human Resource Management

Marketing

*The TWU School of Management attempts to ensure that all accounting and non-accounting business classes offered are accepted by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy for CPA Exam credit. The combination of the TWU BBA/Accounting and TWU MBA/Accounting degrees is designed to provide all courses needed under current requirements. However, the State Board can and does make changes in course requirements / course acceptance as the Board deems appropriate. In addition, TWU may offer elective courses from time to time that do not meet any specific requirements set forth by the Board. Students are subject to all Board changes until the student receives an official letter from the State Board indicating that the student has fulfilled all requirements. Each individual interested in becoming qualified to sit for the CPA Exam must work with the State Board to determine her/his full eligibility for the CPA Exam.

Cooperative Education Program

The School of Management participates in the Cooperative Education program at the Texas Woman's University. Students may enter the Cooperative Education program through the School of Management when they have reached their sophomore year. This program provides students with the opportunity to gain experience in their chosen field prior to graduation.

Competency in a Concentrated Field

Providing competency in a concentrated field, the primary objective of the School of Management, is augmented by a program of studies in general education. A minimum of 50 percent of all course work must be in the general education areas. The combined programs build a firm, analytical/conceptual background that will enhance future development in a dynamic business and social environment.
